Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Rip
Speaker 1: Progoge Trend. Guinny progoge Trend. Ah, poor guy. Uh he
Speaker 1: gone to quote a baseball announcer. I think we'd say
Speaker 1: it after somebody struck out. Anyways, Uh, I am Jack
Speaker 1: and I'm thrilled to be joined by super producer Brian Jeffery.
Speaker 2: Everybody, it's unmy Yeah, I'm never on Mike, but you
Speaker 2: know any port in a storm.
Speaker 1: You're also like always adding commentary in the in the chat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I like to work behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, well we'll close our eyes, so
Speaker 1: so you're still technically behind the scenes. We do have
Speaker 1: some sad news out of Russia. You have Guinny Pregoson
Speaker 1: was listed as a passenger on a plane which crashed
Speaker 1: with no survivors. Russian aviation authorities say, oh, what a shame.
Speaker 1: It does feel like though the trustworthy outlets like The
Speaker 1: Guardian and such are couching it in a lot of
Speaker 1: like listed on a plane which crashed with no survivors.
Speaker 1: Aviation authority says, so I.
Speaker 2: Don't found a bag of his teeth somehow in the
Speaker 2: rubble and.
Speaker 1: One finger, Yes, and it had a sign attached to
Speaker 1: it that said four finger printing.
Speaker 2: The Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean there's something almost admirable about the shamelessness with
Speaker 1: which Putin kills his opponents. Not quite admirable, but like
Speaker 1: approaching it, it's just.
Speaker 2: Like how you admire Frank Black and King of New
Speaker 2: York or something like that, where it's like, wow, he's
Speaker 2: just really like he's just really on his grind.
Speaker 1: There's a fourth rightness to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 1: it's like a secret.
Speaker 2: But he wants everybody to know that he was involved, basically, yeah.
Speaker 2: Every time.
Speaker 1: It's also giving Epstein vibes in the sense of like
Speaker 1: we were all like, well, that guy's gonna die pretty soon, right, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no way this guy survives.
Speaker 2: No, you can't get caught this summer and then still
Speaker 2: be walking around.
Speaker 1: I think it was also towards the end of the
Speaker 1: summer when that happened. It's like August is a bad
Speaker 1: month for anybody who is under arrest and marked for death.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not long for this world with when powerful
Speaker 2: people are mad at you, Yeah, especially for trying to
Speaker 2: cool them.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, you got you can't.
Speaker 2: I just I remember specifically that Putin is very very
Speaker 2: not into that. It rubs him. He's like weird thing.
Speaker 1: He has this weird thing where he's like, really, he
Speaker 1: doesn't like it if a hockey player doesn't allow him
Speaker 1: to score on them. And he also hates it when
Speaker 1: you try and poo him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, those two things.
Speaker 1: Makes him so mad.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So anyways, uh a fond farewell. You know, we've all
Speaker 1: we've all been there. We've all thought that we could
Speaker 1: coop Russia, coup Putin, but harder than it looks.
Speaker 2: Folks like to see you try a bit a de
Speaker 2: to the queue.
Speaker 1: The queue all right, and good news, uh, India's mission
Speaker 1: to land a craft, the Victram Lander from chandre On
Speaker 1: three on the south pole of the moon was a success.
Speaker 2: Ye brother, Hell yeah brother, we on the moon as
Speaker 2: hell boy.
Speaker 1: I'm just proud of my friends in the This is
Speaker 1: the Rock announcing this on Twitter. I'm just proud of
Speaker 1: my friends the Indian space program. Hell yeah, brother, the
Speaker 1: is that real?
Speaker 2: Is the rock? Really? No?
Speaker 1: But just he he always is like somehow attached.
Speaker 2: To anytime any people who are brown do anything, he
Speaker 2: always chimes in, yaues. He's just that fluid.
Speaker 1: Or and by do anything have their head shot off
Speaker 1: by Seal Team six is also another example of that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I just forgot about that. Just proud to
Speaker 1: be an American today, Brother, Holy.
Speaker 2: Shit, I totally forgot about that.
Speaker 1: This is a historic and I like the wording on
Speaker 1: this is a story because only the US, China, and
Speaker 1: the former Soviet Union have achieved a soft landing on
Speaker 1: the Moon until now. So it's like a is that
Speaker 1: to distinguish it from like people who have just like crashed,
Speaker 1: just like fired people at the Moon and had them
Speaker 1: just like crash crash into it like the rocket in
Speaker 1: that old timey movie.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be a small chunk of my afternoon is
Speaker 2: looking up. Failed landings on the Moon.
Speaker 1: Were hard landings.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hard because I mean, hey, you only hear about
Speaker 2: the successes, right, Yeah, those are the ones, I guess
Speaker 2: sticks in people's memory, yeah.
Speaker 1: Or stick in the moon's eye. Russia. Russia definitely like
Speaker 1: when you look back at some of the lesser known
Speaker 1: stories of their like how they made their space program
Speaker 1: possible was move fast, a lot of the same things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: move fast and don't give a fuck about people's bodies.
Speaker 2: They were the first people to send a woman to
Speaker 2: space and not for like any sort of good reasons.
Speaker 2: Let me just put it like that.
Speaker 1: There's some like Grizzly Man style audio of people who
Speaker 1: Russia just like fired into space without really a clear
Speaker 1: plan of how they were going to get them down,
Speaker 1: and those people like burning up, yeah, and re entry.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I've heard the tape. It's pretty he's cursing
Speaker 2: them all the way.
Speaker 1: Down voices of death. But anyways, let's not talk about right,
Speaker 1: you know. Of course this comes just days after Russia
Speaker 1: totally shit the bed in their attempt. But we're not
Speaker 1: here to talk about Russia. We're here to talk about India.
Speaker 1: The rover that they sent will poke around looking for
Speaker 1: water based ice and examine the physical characteristics of the
Speaker 1: surface of the Moon. But the water based ice, it's
Speaker 1: just funny too. It's funny to me to imagine that,
Speaker 1: like the thing that determines who will rule the Moon
Speaker 1: is like who gets there first. It's like a race, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because that that's the thing they you know, Dibbs.
Speaker 2: In the past decided, hey, we shouldn't probably shouldn't allow
Speaker 2: governments to have military installations on the Moon. So there's
Speaker 2: treaties for that but as far as like you know,
Speaker 2: depleting the Moon of all of its resources and possibly
Speaker 2: sending large chunks of it flying at us like a
Speaker 2: Roland Emerick movie, that's all fair game. Yeah, so I
Speaker 2: can't wait for that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no military installations, but mining towns, mining installations which historically.
Speaker 2: Have to never had any like mishaps or accidents.
Speaker 1: Now I think I think we're good here. India is
Speaker 1: about to like rule the world for the I feel
Speaker 1: like the next you know, they're just demographically, they're that
Speaker 1: they're in a very good position as other populations around
Speaker 1: the world age. They have that good dependency ratio. When
Speaker 1: a big chunk of the population is moving through their
Speaker 1: working years, that is good for the economy. And like
Speaker 1: so that when there was the US like baby Boomer
Speaker 1: generation moving from like eighteen to sixty five, America was
Speaker 1: at its peak of economic performance. It was doing great.
Speaker 1: They of course wanted to believe it was because they
Speaker 1: were like so smart and shit, But like now that
Speaker 1: they're hitting retirement and have hit retirement, things are falling off.
Speaker 1: And China similarly, yeah, child rule, Yeah, the one child
Speaker 1: rule put them in an amazing position for you know,
Speaker 1: eighteen years but now they have this massive population, like
Speaker 1: working age population that is all entering the part where
Speaker 1: they become This is why it's called the dependency ratio
Speaker 1: is because it's you know, people who can't work so
Speaker 1: under the age of you know, fourteen, and over the
Speaker 1: age of like sixty five or you know, seventy, they
Speaker 1: become a drain on the economy and therefore, like the
Speaker 1: so you want more working age people. China had that
Speaker 1: to a high degree for a while, and now they're
Speaker 1: entering the phase where they're going to not have that.
Speaker 1: The United States entering it, you know, not quite as
Speaker 1: bad as China entering a bad phase, but not quite
Speaker 1: as bad, just definitely not as good as it had
Speaker 1: been for them during the Baby Boom era. And India,
Speaker 1: I feel like, is demographers are like they're really set
Speaker 1: up well for the future. So I don't know, people
Speaker 1: don't like reporting this because it takes away like the
Speaker 1: special of like the US having had economic success. They're like, no,
Speaker 1: that was our personality and perseverance, and it's like, no,
Speaker 1: it was just like your numbers and age and that
Speaker 1: was it.
Speaker 2: And a lot of luck and yeah, and a lot
Speaker 2: of a lot of unscrupulous activities, yeah, totally. And a
Speaker 2: lot of immigration.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean that is one of the reasons
Speaker 1: that the one of the things that saves the US
Speaker 1: from just aging going off of a demographic cliff is immigration.
Speaker 1: But of course some people don't want that because they're dumb.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,
Speaker 1: and we're back, and Rudy Giuliani has turned himself in
Speaker 1: and threatened your children while he's at it. So here
Speaker 1: a couple of days after claiming in a radio interview
Speaker 1: that he has scientific evidence quote unquote h that Trump
Speaker 1: won the twenty twenty election, he has turned himself into
Speaker 1: authorities in Georgia. But not before.
Speaker 2: I can't wait for that white paper.
Speaker 1: I know, right, scientists are saying, folks, they're all says.
Speaker 2: He's gonna put it out on pub med or something like.
Speaker 1: That, medically incontrovertible evidence. But he did spend a lot
Speaker 1: of time ranting to the press gathered outside the police
Speaker 1: station by defending his mayoral record. For some reason, he argued,
Speaker 1: he's still the same Rudy, still the same Rudy Giuliani
Speaker 1: who made New York City the safest city still in
Speaker 1: America aka brutalized, unhoused New Yorkers. But we should all
Speaker 1: be on HI side now. He also claimed that he's
Speaker 1: fighting for justice and for Trump, who has been proven
Speaker 1: innocent several times, and then he ended his speech by
Speaker 1: warning that the justice system has been politicized. Uh, and
Speaker 1: then looked into the camera and threatened that your rights
Speaker 1: are in jeopardy and your children's so huh guy, Okay,
Speaker 1: it seems trustworthy of me. I back him now.
Speaker 2: Look, I love rooting for the little guy. So you no,
Speaker 2: here's the Rudy.
Speaker 1: Is he short? There are some pictures of him where
Speaker 1: he like looks very tiny, but I think that might
Speaker 1: just be like the way that.
Speaker 2: So is his head. He's one of those guys where
Speaker 2: his head throws me off. Yeah, And I can't tell
Speaker 2: how tall he is because his head is so fucking big.
Speaker 1: Yeah, He's like, yeah, mostly head head. So seemingly Trump
Speaker 1: doesn't want Rudy to flip because he is hosting a
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars per plate gala dinner to help
Speaker 1: pay Giuliani's legal bills, and the invite was written in
Speaker 1: a very classy cursive writing Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so dare I say, illegible.
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump, you for quin eyewitness in.
Speaker 2: America. Yeah, Rudy Giuliani said something like that, But you
Speaker 2: need I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think you needed classy font to let people
Speaker 1: know this was going to be a classy event for
Speaker 1: a guy facing conspiracy charges and a ten million dollars
Speaker 1: sexual harassment suit. So we'll see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, it's it's sponsored by McDonald, So
Speaker 2: there'll be plenty of fl a of fish and coke
Speaker 2: to go around for these one hundred thousand dollars per plate.
Speaker 1: Gallon one hundred thousand dollars per plate.
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, I wonder who do you think is gonna
Speaker 2: pull up to this?
Speaker 1: That's the thing, Like I have you hear about these
Speaker 1: sorts of things for like Obama and Hillary, and it
Speaker 1: kind of makes sense to me because of the degree
Speaker 1: to which the rich people who want to be friends
Speaker 1: with them have their head up their own ass.
Speaker 2: But at least you know, you go to one of those,
Speaker 2: you'll be immolated in a firewall of charm, right.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, But I don't know about this, like it
Speaker 1: probably you know various mall moduls, like people who made
Speaker 1: a lot of money on malls. I feel like, is
Speaker 1: who I'm like strip malls, subway franchisees.
Speaker 2: Because I'm really because Okay, it's like, if this were
Speaker 2: just like a Trump dinner, I can sort of envision,
Speaker 2: you know, like all the lackey's pulling up, but this
Speaker 2: being for explicitly for Rudy. Yeah, I'm like, who's gonna
Speaker 2: pull up for this guy? Because you're not just pull
Speaker 2: You're not pulling up for Trump, You're pulling up for Rudy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm very curious to see who actually shows up.
Speaker 1: Well, both the invite and his statement before go turning
Speaker 1: himself in are mentioning America's mayor. So I think he's
Speaker 1: just like trying to trying to trade on his good
Speaker 1: name for just be like, yeah, don't pay attention to
Speaker 1: any of this. Fifteen years. Think about nine to eleven
Speaker 1: most most of all, think about nine to eleven. Folks. Hey,
Speaker 1: speaking of nine to eleven, it's cousin seven eleven has
Speaker 1: already launched their pumpkin spice flavored products. They launched they
Speaker 1: launched their spl shit on August first, August. I know
Speaker 1: they got they want to get ahead of the game,
Speaker 1: you know, just like they get a two month jump
Speaker 1: on nine to eleven. All right, I'm gonna stop making
Speaker 1: the seven eleven nine to eleven comparisons because do they
Speaker 1: need to be made. I feel like they make themselves.
Speaker 1: You know, you all, you all can do your own research.
Speaker 2: I'm suppressed eleven didn't change their name, right.
Speaker 1: I feel like if they, if they really cared about
Speaker 1: this country, they would have. But yeah, they launched their
Speaker 1: their products back on August first, and yeah, it feels
Speaker 1: weird that we are launching early and earlier as the
Speaker 1: earth is getting warmer and warmer, like people just want
Speaker 1: to sip a like warm autumnal beverage while everything around
Speaker 1: them melts. Well, actually, you know.
Speaker 2: When you think about it, with all of all of
Speaker 2: the changes to the climate, autumn might actually start coming
Speaker 2: a few months early. So you might as well get
Speaker 2: a lead on that. Get people used to their pumpkin
Speaker 2: spice lattes.
Speaker 1: And you will start dying soon. Yeah, yeah, get ahead
Speaker 1: of it. The official reason for the season actually happens tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte will be hitting stores Thursday, August
Speaker 1: twenty fourth. Jesus Christ, this is the twentieth anniversary of
Speaker 1: the beverage, and Starbucks is introducing a pumpkin chai latte. Akay,
Speaker 1: an idea that they just took from TikTok where it's
Speaker 1: like sort of a secret menu hack that people talk
Speaker 1: about on TikTok. They're just like, yeah, we're doing that.
Speaker 1: And they'll also be releasing pumpkin spiced cocktails at their
Speaker 1: little whity tweety Starbucks Reserve locations. The pumpkin spice whiskey
Speaker 1: barrel aged ice iced latte.
Speaker 2: Now, I am a I am a recluse. I don't
Speaker 2: know what the Starbucks reserve. What is that? Is that
Speaker 2: like a bar?
Speaker 1: Oh, it's the top, it's the the top Starbucks. Man.
Speaker 2: So it's been like their flagship Starbucks type store.
Speaker 1: No, I think it's I think it's like their idea.
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of like the fancy taco bells
Speaker 1: that are like sit down restaurants.
Speaker 2: No, not in America.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they're trying to make fancy Starbucks a thing.
Speaker 1: These are the fancy Starbucks that have like a bar
Speaker 1: in them.
Speaker 2: Okay, I see wow, So they are thoughtfully deconstructed Starbucks.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, they also have a pumpkin spice espresso martini,
Speaker 1: but like only one of them has alcohol in it.
Speaker 1: The pumpkin spice whiskey barrel aged ice latte does not
Speaker 1: have alcohol in it, so.
Speaker 2: They're just they're just getting the peatiness in there. I guess,
Speaker 2: so your coffee can taste even more burnt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, see exactly. The pumpkin spice espresso martini does contain alcohol,
Speaker 1: so you can pretend like your James Bond to undercover
Speaker 1: as a soccer dad. Basically.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that espresso martinis really taken off. I keep
Speaker 2: seeing it everywhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just got to get awake and drunk.
Speaker 2: For America loves wide awake, drunk, wide awake and drunk.
Speaker 2: Get an espresso martini and a Red Bull and vodka. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and a buzz ball.
Speaker 1: Like not technically able to drive, but you will be
Speaker 1: absolutely certain that you are a better driver than you've
Speaker 1: ever been. Yeah, when you're drunk on these absolutely they
Speaker 1: should sell buzzballs. I feel like that would be just
Speaker 1: in the little cooler at the front of the Starbucks.
Speaker 2: I'm like they should really there, it's a gap in
Speaker 2: the market they could really take over.
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, well, Brian, it's been such a pleasure
Speaker 1: having you on. Welcome to the show, where cant Where
